Le pape, âgé de 88 ans, n’a plus présidé la prière hebdomadaire de l’Angélus depuis le 9 février. Sa pneumonie n’a pas été « éliminée », mais elle est désormais « sous contrôle », a fait savoir le Vatican.
Pope Francis is returning to the Vatican on Sunday after a five-week hospitalization for double pneumonia. He will make a public appearance at the Gemelli hospital to deliver a blessing before returning to the Vatican for a convalescence period expected to last at least two months. His health is improving, and he is eager to resume normal activities. This hospitalization, his longest since his election, caused him to miss five consecutive weekly Angelus prayers, raising questions about leadership during the upcoming Easter period.
